h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I need a sub editor for my University Project A1074872 Project: American Baseball History.

As for the Will Pay clause, I can pay you in s (I can pay you in dollars, but they won't work in Australia, Britain and most of Canada)

Thanks I promise I'll do this one. Seriously

Hi Jodan...

I'm pencilled in for Subbing another project, but I don't see any reason why I couldn't handle two at once. Now that I've abandoned my own, that is.

Plus, I understand baseball, which is presumably to my benefit.

Oh, but can you pay me in ? I don't have a sweet tooth.

B

Thank you Master . I should have my entries done well before the end date. I have one 99% finished right now

Heya Master B

This might be a fairly large subbing job. Not that many entries, but extremely long ones. If you don't believe me, about 10% I've done of an entry is already longer than one of my other EG entries (Admittedly it's my shortest one) I should be done with the one on Stadiums soon enough.

Anyway, if you feel like you want to share some of the burden, be my guest

I think I might want to share all of it now.

As long as your creative urges don't run to more than 2 entries a weak, and you don't need to many links putting in (my blind spot...), I should be ok.

B

I've put in a few links myself, but I should be done with one by the end of the week.

Will let you know

I'll be around.

B

Hi B. I'm getting there. The project will have a few more entries now, because some entries go too long, and I split them up a bit. It shouldn't be too much more work for you

Don't rush it - I'm subbing Ben's as well. That shouldn't take too long though as it's, on the whole, beautifully written.

B

I noticed I can't promise that mine will be that way

I'm not planning to rush it. I'm planning to give it to you at the last possible moment

So what would be a good time for me to finish it then?

**checks calendar**

December 19th.

B

Well that certainly gives me enough time.

Okay, so the better question would be, how long will you need to sub them?

Yup. Better

This depends on a number of factors:

- How long they are
- How well they are written
- How perfect your GuideML is
- If they've good sufficient links in
- How interesting I find them

I can Sub a short, well-written, perfectly-coded, well-linked, interesting entry in about 15 minutes.

If you finish them in August, I will endeavour to Sub the entire lot before September 6th, as that's when my RL kicks in with a vengeance. If you don't, you're taking pot luck on anywhere between October and New Year.

B

Well how will that fit in before the university closes? Mina said "We've currently got 5 in the queue for the Front Page, so you've got a minimum of five and a bit weeks. If I were you, I'd ask Master B how long he'll need to sub them. " which I did. And then she called you unmotivated

By the way, I'm breaking down the entries to make them quite a few managable entries instead of four or five incredibly long ones.

Okay-

- How long they are - Breaking them down
- How well they are written - Uh oh
- How perfect your GuideML is - Pretty perfect
- If they've good sufficient links in - I'll add links
- How interesting I find them - You're british right?

I'm British, yeah, but I like baseball, so they'll probably be more interesting than, say, Ben's project. (shhh! I didn't say that! )

Given that the project currently appearing on the front page has Entry numbers between 540000 and 680000, I shouldn't worry too much about timescales, if I were you. I'll make sure they get there eventually.

B

I was sure the announcement said that entries won't appear on the front page after the Uni runs out of entries in the queue

Sounds like a question for Mina...

Oh and don't undermine my astoundedness of a British person liking baseball

We get 2 matches a week here on terrestrial TV! Unfortunately they tend to start at 12 midnight, which skews my sleeping arrangements somewhat.

You do realise the arrangement's mutual don't you, in that I will now have to persuade you to enjoy cricket.

B

Noooooooooo!

I don't even understand it...
